Nice Bun

As a pedestrian in Cincinnati, I’m accustomed to hearing honking and hollering from the passing cars. I assume it isn’t directed at me and ignore it. Even if I am the object of attention, it’s usually negative and responding only encourages the harassment. Occasionally, though, someone I know is trying to get my attention and they’re nonplussed when I give them the cold shoulder.

Poor …bill was honking at me as I crossed Sycamore this morning and I completely ignored him. He just wanted to say: “Nice bun*!”

I love your outfit today and you do have a nice bun!About 30 years ago, I was standing in my front yard sketching my house. Some teen age boys were riding bicycles down the street and one hollered "Nice ass". When I turned around, he turned a bit red and added "For an Old Lady." My husband and I still laugh over that!

[i honk at people to say 'hi' all the time--grew up in the country--we do that i guess. but i texted to explain it was me honking because, well, 'honk honk' just means 'hi' usually, but that time it meant 'nice stripes/nice bun'=]

Your bun puns made me laugh! But I also feel your pain; there is nothing more unsettling than having to battle catcalls when you're just going about your business. You dress for you, not for them. Ugh!
